Mcguire, not being ableto raise the rent

EXTRA BILLYm SMITH.

Slowly but surely the old landmarks OF
our political life are passing away. The
men who made our history for the past
fifty years, with its lights and shadows,
its wisdom and folly and It's gravity ard
eCcentriciies are, one by one, falling
into the grave and leaving behind them
only memories of what they have been.
One of the last and most prominent
figures was Ex-Governor William Smith
of Virginia, who was known popularity as
Extra Billy, who died at his home at
Warrenton a few days ago. He had
nearly reached his ninetieth year, and the
history of his long and busy life is full of
incident. The pseudonym extra Billy"
was earned while he was mail con-
tractor between Washington city and
Milledgeville, Ga, an enterprise be-
ginning in 1881, in which he amassed a
snug fortune. In 1884 q noted attack
was made upon the administration of
w. T. Barry, then Postmaster-Ge nersl,
In the rapid development of the postal
facilities of the southern country the
expenditures of the department were
largely increased. In the Blue Book. or
official register of the United States
government, the salaries or compen-
sGtion of its officers or contractors com
pensstion, for instance, OF additional
service ordered to be performed, is
indicated by an asterisk. Every extra
allowance beyond the stipuIations Of the
original contract was thus designated.
As the route OF MIR Smith was one of rapid
development, his entries of service were
abundantly thus marked. The circum-
stance was noted in debate by Benjamin
Watkins Leigh, from Virginia, who,
without calling the name of Mr.. Smith,
yet affixed upon him the lifelong soubri
quet of extra Billy"
His history is not confined to the mail
contracting business. In 1918, when he
was twenty-one years old, he settled at
Culpepper and began legal practice. At
the same time he eagerly entered, the po-
litical arena as vigorous and fsgorite
exponent OF Democratic doctrine. BE
was firm believer in strict constriati6n, |
frugslity in public expenditure and An1rs
ssty in the public servant. During eigSss
zen years he took active part In sll poEft
cal campaigns without being candidate
or any public position. In 1885 against
lis own'wtshes, he was elected 9 member
# the state Senate for four PEARS. He
Vas reelected for another four years.

as TO MR- -RLALNE.

The man upon whom the eyes Of friends
and foes alike are being centered more
than any other American citizen, is "the
plumed knight" Mr.. James g. Blaine.
Every movement OF his is WatChed Ella
borate plans are made for him; he is sent
east and west, north, south and across
the ocean, just as the humor seizes the
imaginative sCribbler. The latest is his
contemplated visit TO Europe where he is
to see Gladstone, and make an election
tour through Ireland. He is TO have an
ovation at every place, and Of course VIII
deliver a speech. AL the while MI
Blaine himself is dumb as an oyster. He
has the faculty of talking less and being
talked about more than any other citizen
IN America since the quasi-reformation of
Benjamin T. Butler, and he is
working the "Iead" Tor all it
IS worth. He is growing wary.
In early life he may have
made mistakes and missteps and in ma
turer years, in trying to cast an anchor
to the windward, he may have written
letters for incineration which proved to
be veritabIe salamanders, but for all that
he is the head and front of the Republi-
can party to-day. Booms may come and
booms may go, but Blaine's boom goes
on forever. He is his rarty's.Hamlet.
Teht )srty can no more do without him
than can ship navigate without an an
Choir. He is the life and hope of the Re
publicans. Without him there can be no
power, no cohesion, no unsntmity. 1t is
Just as well for Democrats to realize this
snd prepare for the struggle, If Demo
Gratis do not they will find him more
formidable adversary than they expect
